# How to create a new form
The Form Builder lets you create new forms directly from the Forms list. In this article, you'll learn how to start a new form by naming it, selecting a form type, and landing in the Form Editor.
### Before you begin
* You need to be on the Forms list page. If you're not sure how to get there, see *How to navigate to the Forms section*.
***
### Step-by-step guide
**1. Click + New Form**
At the top right of the Forms list, click the **+ New Form** button. A new page opens with a form card where you set up your form.
**2. Enter a form name**
In the **Form name** field, type a name for your form (for example, "Candidate Onboarding Form"). Choose something descriptive so it's easy to identify in the Forms list later.
**3. Select a form type**
Under **Form type**, select one of the two options:
* **Candidate registration form**: for collecting information from candidates.
* **Panel evaluation form**: for capturing structured feedback from evaluators and interviewers.
> For help choosing, refer to *What is the difference between a Registration form and an Evaluation form?*
**4. Click Create Form**
* Once you've entered a name and selected a form type, click the **Create Form** button.
* If you change your mind, click **Cancel** to return to the Forms list without creating a form.
**5. Start building in the Form Editor**
The Form Editor opens with a blank canvas. Your form name appears in the header at the top left. The canvas shows a placeholder that says "Enter text or type '/' for commands", which is where you start adding fields and content to your form.
> From here, you can start building your form. For next steps, refer to *How to add fields to a form*.
**Additional Tips**
The **Publish Form** button is disabled when the form is empty. You need to add at least one field before you can publish.
